The Hurricanes are set to host the Sunwolves this coming Friday at Westpac Stadium in New Zealand for another round of action-packed Super Rugby.

With the Hurricanes coming off a bye and the Sunwolves showing some momentum after their thrilling match against the Crusaders last week, the two teams are ready for the 11th round in this year’s Super Rugby tournament.

The Sunwolves are certainly hoping for their first win this season but with the Hurricanes currently in second place on the New Zealand conference, it won’t be easy.

💯 points were scored the last time @HurricanesRugby and @Sunwolves clashed! How many points will they rack up in Wellington on Friday night? 🔥🔥🔥

Hurricanes team and injury news

All Blacks wing, Nehe Milner-Skudder is set to make his long awaited return to rugby via the bench on Friday night.

According to the Hurricanes’ website, he has been sidelined since injuring his shoulder in October and is part of a strong Hurricanes line-up selected by head coach Chris Boyd.

Halfback Finlay Christie will make his debut for the Hurricanes and will have plenty of experience outside him with Beauden Barrett starting inside an exciting midfield pairing of Vince Aso and Matt Proctor.

Boyd has opted to make some changes in the pack from the squad who beat the Chiefs a fortnight earlier with Ben May coming in for Jeff Toomaga-Allen while Reed Prinsep comes into the loose forward mix with captain Brad Shields moving to No 8 as Gareth Evans, who has started every match, moves to the bench.

Ardie Savea, who was injured against the Highlanders in March, has been bracketed with Sam Henwood who has recovered from a head knock he suffered early against the Chiefs.

Experienced wing Julian Savea also returns to the starting XV after he missed the Chiefs match and will be joined at the back by the competition’s leading try scorer Ben Lam and in-form Jordie Barrett.

There is plenty of quality on the bench which will feature the return of Milner-Skudder from a long-term shoulder injury while Jackson Garden-Bachop replaces Ihaia West.

Second five-eighth Ngani Laumape and lock Vaea Fifita have been given the week off.
